Is forgetfullness a blessing or a curse..?

I don't see how forgetfullness could be a blessing unless it was something tragic that was worth forgetting. Our memories are what we have to look back on as we get older. It would certainly be a curse to not be able to remember the events of our lives.

If it is recurring then it is somewhat a curse. Honestly, being forgetful is normal. Just because our minds like computers needs to reboot. And so, thats the time we forgot something. But, if it is recurring, and it made you forget simple things that you must remember then be aware of it. go to physician and have a check. A lot of studies shows about Alzheimer's disease. And so, it doesn't mean that if we are lucky to forget bad circumstances in our lives, we are free to this disease.

as you say, it can be both... sometimes it can be a blessing... but sometimes it can be a curse as well... it happened to me many times as well that being forgetful can be a blessing and a curse for me... i believe that everything in this world has its own positive and negative side depending on how you look at it... take care and have a nice day...

I guess when it comes to forgiving someone, forgetting is a blessing. But when it comes to things like, going somewhere and forgetting something because your to forgetful...then that's definitely a curse. Cause it could be a hassle to forget important things.

Well started discussion. Ok, sometimes forgetfulness could benefit you and sometimes you'll get into trouble because of it. Let me state a simple example, the bad effects. Your boss hands you an important document, which is a multi-million dollar contract for the company and must not be forgotten. However, after repeated reminders by your boss, on the day of seeing the client, you were in a rush and you left the contract in the train or taxi. Oh god, that's an expensive contract, and you left it there just like this because of your forgetfulness. You boss gets very angry and got you sacked. This is the bad effect. The good effect now. You were tasked to run an errand for your boss to go to this particular building. Halfway to your destination, you forgot to take your cellphone or something important and went back to take it. Half an hour later, when you reached the building, all you see was fire and bits and pieces of glasses shattered everywhere. That half an hour that was taken to get your cellphone, saved you from imminent danger and then you realised that this was so much of a blessing in disguise! So...forgetfulness can be good and bad. It's more of a kind of fate thing.

I feel forgetfullness is both a blessing and a curse. Like you said, it is good to forget the things that bring us pain, but it is rather bothersome to forget other things. I simply hate it when I forget where I put things or when I have forgotten to do something I told someone else I would do. I am grateful that I can not remember how painful childbirth was.

yes,everything has two sides.if we always forget things,how can we make a living?how can the society develops?and if we always forget things,we will lose lots of ture friends and loved ones,and make them sad. but sometimes we need forget things,when there happens some sad things,we need try to forget them and move on.if we stick to it and think it all day and all night,then at this time forgetfulness is really a blessing for us. of course,i wish i got a brain can remember every important things,while forget those unhappy things and forget the ones who not worthy my remembering.

i'm a certified forgetful person and most of the time, it's a disadvantage in my part. i know a lotta stuff about a specific line/topic and i just can't talk or share that much because i might forget a lot of things i wanna say anyway once we're in the middle of our conversation. i have people who used to remind me of almost everything i need to do or bring or whatever. and sometimes it makes me laugh or smile. sometimes, out of the blue, i thank them of reminding me of my being stupid 'cause i forget things and makes me look stupid or clueless at times. hahahaha..

I believe forgetfulness is a blessing in disguise. Forgetfulness is a natural mechanism to erase the painful memories of the past. If we had to remember them all our life would have turned miserable. Our loosing our near and dear ones we would have been inconsolable. If we misplace our things, or we forget someone's birthdays it is due to our inattentiveness and not due to forgetfulness.

well what i think is that forgetfulness is a good thing. everyone in life faces situations which makes them unhappy and feel miserable and wont it be great we forget these situations and feel happy again. think how beautiful our world will be if we forget our enemies deeds and give a friendly hand to them. how beautiful will our world become.

According to me, forgetfulness is both a curse as well as a blessing!By forgetfulness,you forget many great memories of your past which you were supposed to remember to overwhelm with old memories.That's really very sad!:(.But some evil things which happen in one's life is forgotten which in even more good for us.:).So i meant this by my statement. Thanks, Arnold.
